Rutgers head coach C. Vivian Stringer celebrates her 900th win after defeating South Florida on Tuesday.

Stringer, a Hall of Famer in her 42nd season as head coach, reached the milestone thanks to Erica Wheeler, who scored 24 points to help the Scarlet Knights (15-12, 6-8 Big East) snap a four-game losing streak.

Stringer joined Pat Summitt, Jody Conradt and Sylvia Hatchell, who reached the mark on Feb. 7.

“I am fortunate to call Vivian my friend and could not be happier that she has reached the 900-win milestone in her career. I have great respect and admiration for Vivian and consider her one of the great pioneers of our game,” Summitt said in a statement. “She has had an incredible journey, and I hope she adds many more to her ‘W’ column!”

As the game ended, a crowd of 1,304 at the Rutgers Athletic Center saluted Stringer with chants of “900” and “C.V.S.” and Scarlet Knights Athletic Director Tim Pernetti was among the first to greet her with a congratulatory banner.

Rutgers had lost four consecutive games since beating Cincinnati for Stringer’s 899th career victory. Stringer is 900-330 in her career.
